Stand tall

Echoing chambers

If he breaks your heart, he’s not the One

If he plays with your emotions, he’s just a boy, can never be a real man

If he is too afraid to talk, he’s just a coward, too good a player but aren’t you tired of the games

If you know the truth, don’t keep knocking on the same doors

looking for an answer in empty halls that will only echo solemn silence

have you seen a girl who searched for water in an empty well

empty brick chambers, reverberating cold noise, gnawing her flesh

she fell, only deeper, drowning in an empty glass of water

the glass was her ocean, she was looking from the inside out

only when was she thrown to the sharks in the gaping, blue ocean

did she learn, she was indeed, filling her glass with rolling stones gathering moss

tears basking on sundried ocean’s salty periphery

heels digging in the pinky beach and she saw it there when then sun shone on her

it hit her hard, like the boulders lying restlessly on the side, waiting to be hit by another tide before calling it a night

he’s basking in his narcissist glory, so let him be

trying to get an answer from him is impossible as he has none

he has never loved you my dear, the only person he has ever loved was his bolstered ego, brushed up by his followers

when the towers fall, one by one, don’t sit under the ruins, begging for help

be the pillar of hope, a strong foundation, when a quake hits, it shakes you up but you still stand stall

buildings collapse, careers fall, when the heart breaks, the damage is catastrophic yet the pieces to pick are only left for you to gather

the world makes no noise, no one rescues you from you

when the world is hurt and sad and shaken, be there to see beyond the person who broke you, for once you stand tall, there is no bending you
